We are seeing more and more women celebrating their natural hair, partly thanks to the influence of celebrities like Solange Knowles and Lianne La Havas. However, there are definitely some secrets when it comes to looking after Afro hair. We have pulled together some of the best loved products as well as expert tips and secrets for keeping Afro hair in the best condition.

Best Shampoo For Afro Hair

When investing in a good shampoo, it’s important to look for ones that promise to replenish your naturally dry hair with moisture. Each time you wash your locks, you strip the hair of its natural oils.

To get the best results from your shampoo:

Work out how often your hair likes to be washed. Depending on your texture and density, it might be every 3 days or it could be just once a week or less.

If you want to refresh your hair without washing it too often, skip the shampoo stage every other time you wash your hair and just use conditioner instead. This will still remove any unwanted dirt, without stripping moisture.

Sulphates can leave some curls brittle and dry, so look for sulphate-free formulas.

For an extra hydration boost, look out for natural oils in the ingredients.

Best Treatments for Afro Hair

Afro-Caribbean hair needs a little extra TLC. On top of your regular cleansing routine, extra conditioning and treatments are like food for your hair and will keep your hair feeling strong and healthy.

Use a hair mask weekly for optimum conditioning.

Relaxed hair can struggle with breakage and split ends, so this can help protect it.

If you have relaxed your hair, it’s especially essential that you use a mask to avoid any breakage at the ends or any splitting of the hair shaft.

Styling for Afro Hair

Styling is the finishing touch that keeps your hair looking smooth and glossy. Curly hair has a tendency to be not as shiny as straight hair because it can’t reflect the light as well, so extra products and moisture can keep curls well defined and glossy.
